GDPR Compliance and Data Protection Statement

Last Updated on July 5, 2026

Welcome to Marketeq Digital Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Marketeq," "we," "us," or "our"). This GDPR Compliance and Data Protection Statement (the "Statement") describes how Marketeq approaches the protection of personal data and the principles it observes when processing personal data, including in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and other applicable data protection laws. This Statement supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it and with our other data protection documents. It reflects our commitment to processing personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently. If you have any questions about this Statement, you may contact us at legal@marketeqdigital.com.

1. Scope and Definitions

This Statement applies to the processing of personal data carried out by Marketeq in the course of providing its services, operating its website, and conducting its business. "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. "Processing" means any operation performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, including collection, storage, use, disclosure, and erasure. "Data Subject" means the individual to whom personal data relates. "Controller" means the party that determines the purposes and means of processing, and "Processor" means the party that processes personal data on behalf of a controller. Depending on the context of a given activity, Marketeq may act as a controller or as a processor.

2. Data Protection Principles

Marketeq is committed to observing the core principles of data protection in all of its processing activities. We process personal data lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the Data Subject. We collect personal data only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and do not process it further in a manner incompatible with those purposes. We limit the personal data we process to what is adequate, relevant, and necessary, and we take reasonable steps to keep it accurate and up to date. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary and process it in a manner that ensures appropriate security. These principles guide the design and operation of our systems and processes.

3. Lawful Bases for Processing

Marketeq processes personal data only where it has a valid lawful basis to do so. Depending on the circumstances, our lawful bases may include the consent of the Data Subject, the performance of a contract to which the Data Subject is party, compliance with a legal obligation, the protection of vital interests, the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or our legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the Data Subject. Where we rely on consent, the Data Subject has the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we conduct an assessment to balance those interests against the interests and rights of the Data Subject. We identify and document the lawful basis applicable to each processing activity.

4. Rights of Data Subjects

Marketeq respects and facilitates the rights afforded to Data Subjects under applicable data protection law. These rights may include the right to be informed about processing, the right of access to personal data, the right to rectification of inaccurate data, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, Data Subjects have the right to withdraw that consent. We also respect rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling where applicable. Requests to exercise these rights may be submitted to us, and we will respond in accordance with the timeframes and conditions established by applicable law.

5. International Data Transfers

Marketeq operates on a global basis and may transfer personal data across national borders in the course of providing its services. Where personal data is transferred from the European Economic Area or other regulated jurisdictions to a country that does not provide an equivalent level of protection, we implement appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law. Such safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, adequacy determinations, or other lawful transfer mechanisms. We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal data remains protected wherever it is processed. Additional details regarding transfers may be found in our Non-EU Data Transfer Policy.

6. Security of Processing

Marketeq implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures may include encryption, access controls, network security, and organizational safeguards, and they are designed with regard to the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature of the processing. We periodically review and update our security measures to address evolving risks. Further detail regarding our security practices is set out in our Data Encryption and Security Policy. Despite these measures, no method of processing can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.

7. Data Breach Response

Marketeq maintains procedures for detecting, investigating, and responding to personal data breaches. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to the rights and freedoms of Data Subjects, we will act promptly to contain and assess the incident and, where required by applicable law, notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected individuals within the applicable timeframes. We document breaches and the measures taken in response as part of our accountability obligations. Our response procedures are designed to minimize harm and to support continuous improvement of our safeguards.

8. Accountability and Governance

Marketeq maintains records of its processing activities and implements internal policies and controls to demonstrate compliance with applicable data protection law. We assess the impact of higher-risk processing activities where required and adopt principles of data protection by design and by default. Our personnel receive guidance regarding their responsibilities in relation to personal data. We periodically review our data protection practices to ensure they remain appropriate and effective.

9. Changes to This Statement

Marketeq reserves the right to modify or update this GDPR Compliance and Data Protection Statement at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Statement, and we encourage you to review it periodically. Where changes are material, we will endeavor to provide additional notice through appropriate means.
